Wimper Wimper Wimper. If I only had a way to go get it and bring it back, I'd buy it. It's a beaute and rare model.
Hmmmm. Too bad Bryan changed his route through Dallas.
Who the heck:
Painted it brown?
Added that cheap drain hose?

Yikes, while any lighted-panel Maytag is a cool machine, it looks like a rust-bucket if you ask me...I've certainly had my fair share of THOSE in the short time I've been collecting!! LOL
It's worth the starting bid,I wouldn't go much more.That would be a good donor,if you had one with a better cabinet.

It was orginally coppertone, CA806 on the model tag indicates the color. Pre-Perm Press cycle with auto soak and pre-wash was made before February 1969. It needs a new lid, paint-job, obviously a belt set and replace that dial/knob with the orginal. Since there are no pictures of the inside of the washer, we'll just assume for the sake of hopeful collectors everywhere that it's just mint!

I want one too!
No time to fix a Maytag belt?
Even a "Marty the Moron" could do it in 5 minutes, or less.
Just tilt back the machine and reach underneath......

Too bad my CA806S is only white, but the Cordovan Brown is a neat colour. My machine was found in the garbage by a fluke on the way to work one morning and was tossed because it leaked water all over the floor. I ended up replacing the transmission with a brand new Dependable Drive, because the agitator shafts on most of the old heilical drive transmissions all had grooves worn in the seal surfaces so deep that the shaft seal would no longer hold water.
And yes, the suds-saver is very much operational. That is really the only reason I picked it up and restored it.

The seller says 1971. I say it sat around for a awhile. The serial # says May 1967. This was the begining of perm press.

Dates by Serial?
Hey Scott,
I've always wondered how you can tell the date of a Maytag by the serial - what's your secret? Inquiring minds want to know =)

Sreial numbers
Serial numbers are kinda like S.S. #s. They are suppose to be unique to the machine and tells what, when, where and in alot of cases will tell who and what time.

Thanks for the info. I understand the year, for the most part, as if you use A starting in 64, that was the start of the *02 Series machines. What I don't get is the logic behind the month. Do they always start with G for Jan, or is there a cryptic system? I would appreciate any input on this or a copy of your cheat sheet. I am curently gathering info for a Maytag model database, and this info would be very helpful to many people. Thanks a bunch!
